Bandana Waddle Dee is my most wanted, but he's already been deconfirmed. In fact, literally every character I remotely wanted in Smash has been deconfirmed. So none, I guess.

did nintendo explicitly deconfirm them or is this just jumping to conclusions based on them appearing as spirits (which nintendo never said or implied was grounds for deconfirmation, that was something that people made up)

i can get assist trophies being plausible deconfirms, but just using stock png artwork would be ridiculous to have as grounds for deconfirmation

Reggie said that they were all characters you wouldn't expect, and Bandana Dee was a character everyone expects, so unless they don't know how popular he is, he's basically out of the running.

I don't think anyone expects Dark Matter Swordsman... if that makes him eligible, then I am more down to his inclusion than I was for Bandana Dee. Being Dark Matter, he can create anything from just memory, which means his moveset could borrow from all Final Bosses in the Kirby series since the majority seems like it's got a connection to Dark Matter somehow. With it, should come a Hyper Zone stage, whose background can switch from the trippy D3 Hyper Zone to the Kirby 64 one. I can see some people saying "He's just another sword fighter!" but I did specify what his moveset could be like, so no one has any reason to believe that. For accompanying music, I'd say these could be some that could be imported or remixed.

This is a really an underrated song, btw. Only the catacomb's theme gets more unsettling than this, it sounds so trippy, and it amplifies Zero's creepiness. Unpopular opinion, Zero is my most disturbing and creepiest Kirby villain. I could see this theme used for his gameplay overview trailer, really. Listening to it as I'm typing this.

I'm already running out of ideas... Lloyd Irving would be pretty cool to see. Tales of hasn't had a rep in Smash save the Mii costume in Smash 4, but if it truly is gone then I guess we can hope for them to have chosen him. Also I've heard some music from Tales of Symphonia, so I can say I want that. Specifically these.

On a related note, I'd like to make clear that anyone willing to beat up Isabelle is welcome, because I'm introducing the headcanon that any Isabelle that isn't mine is a fake Isabelle and while it's REALLY hard to admit...

She looks hilarious to beat up, in a very objective way. But I'm not gonna be doing it myself obviously, so...

please do. I'm removing all death threats from people who've received them from beating her up, go crazy.
